Prevention of dermatitis and lameness
Nutrageo - Prevention of dermatitis and lameness
After having evolved for many years in the agricultural production sector, we have noticed that many farms were strongly impacted by digital dermatitis also called Mortellaro’s disease.
In addition, we were able to see that this pathology was fairly well cured, but only with products that were difficult to use.
Our efforts have focused on the creation of a natural, simple and effective product, which complements the diet of cattle and partly solves foot problems in dairy farms.

Lameness is a major pathology affecting dairy herds
- The second cause of non-production in cattle rearing (after mastitis)
- Causes 5 to 30% drop in yield
- Causes withdrawal (7%)
- Fertility issues (calving interval)
The financial impact of lameness is very significant in dairy farming
Of all the listed causes of lameness, dermatitis or digital dermatitis is the most significant. The Mortarello disease, named after the Professor who identified it in 1972, is the most common among existing forms of the disease. It is a highly contagious bacteria, and nearly impossible to eradicate. It is found worldwide, and causes mayhem in the operating losses for dairy production.
The causes of dermatitis are multiple :
- Immune defences deficit
- Environment
- Nutritional imbalance
- Stress
- Insufficient hoof trimming
- Contagion
Dermatitis affects more or less significantly approximately 80% of cattle rearing in France.
The rate of dermatitis on farms varies between 70% and 5% of the stock.
This percentage is constantly growing.
The product contains various ingredients, among which :
- Several types of clays and minerals
- Biotin
- Plant extracts
- Clays
Clays
Clays have ancestral virtues, which have been recognised as a core component of animal food.
When grazing, cows can eat up to 14% of soils, and such a proportion of this essential intake is not available when they are fed in stables.
Thanks to its contents, clay is already used in breeding for the following inputs :
- Reinforcement of immune defences
- Reinforcement of immune defences
- Positive effect on the effects of acidosis and sub acidosis
- Binding agent
Biotin
Biotin provides the animal with H et B8 vitamins.
Vitamin deficiencies in ruminants have been analysed for many years. It has been proven that the intake of Biotin solves issues specific to rearing:
- Hardening of the horn
- Reinforcement of the hoofs
- Effect on mycotoxins
Plant extracts
These natural components enhance the efficiency of the product. They have a positive impact on the causes of cattle dermatitis, stress, immune defences deficit and spreading of the bacteria.

Example of results

A herd of 55 dairy cows with significant dermatitis issues 40% of the herd infected After 3 months, only 5% infected
The outcome then remains sustained.
Clinical assessment
An independent clinical assessment was carried out in 2013 by the Rhone-Alps Superior Agricultural and Agrifood Institute.
Thanks to “NUTRAGEO”
No footbaths
No restraints to hoof treatment
Note:
Continuous treatment reduces significantly dermatitis issues in the herd, but does not eliminate them completely. Since the dermatitis bacteria is very contagious, it remains present in the herd, but with far lower ratios.
